of Silver llnd the Hot nf It.
Chit-ago, July 51. "Go II, husband: go It,
bear," seemed to. be the motto In the Il
linois Club to-day, The audience at the
Horr-ltarvey controversy appeared to bo
rapidly developing the feeling of the West
era matron, whoe lighting enthusiasm on
an eieltlng occasion overcame her other
emotions. The husband and the grizzly re
ferred to could hardly have attempted more
thoroughly to rip each other up tho h.vk
nnd elsewhere than did Messrs. Uorr and
Harvey this afternoon.
.Mr. llnrr ttcglii tho llrulon.
Mr. Ilorr opened the discussion. He be.
gun by saying that the I12'i grain silver
dollars, coined between tho jears 171 nnd
1S7.1 were all coined nt the Philadelphia
mint, and from foreign silver coins, which
had accumulated In the treasury, under nn
act of congress, which made thm receiva
ble, but did not permit them to be paid out
again. That was why sliver was coined at
lcsi than Its bullion value. After 1S31 the
government did not coin a dolHr ot our sli
ver coinage for private owners.
A Denial bv Mr. Ilarver.
'Jlr. Harvey In reply denied the statement
and declared that he could prove It. H
presented a mint statement showing that
over JIOO.OO.) In sliver dollars had been coined
at the mint at Carson Citv, Nov . In 1ST0.
Mr. Harvey then resumed the discussion
of the question of primary and credit mon
ey. He said that as soon as there" was nn
over-Issue of credit money It c.iued dis
trust of the government's ability to pay.
This caused a run on the treasury for the
redemption of credit monev, and the only
remedy was to either lncieae the amount
of the primary money or a decrease of the
amount of the eiodlt money.
The amount of gold In the United States
w.i-i estimated at from 5 100,000,000 to Jijfn),
ooo.ooo, and of our credit money about
Jl,OOf,0.,0(X). This was too much credit
money, he "aid, and accounted for the coun
try's tln.incl.il derangement. The remedy
was to inciease the primary monev bv re.
monetizing silver. livery moment's delay
would endanger the safety ot the lepubllc.
Mr. Ilorr, leplylng, called attention to a
misstatement of the coinage nt the Car
son City mint. Instead ot $112,192 the
actual amount was 12,102.
Mr. Halve) said that he had mistaken
the $ mark for a figure, and admitted his
ei ror.
Mr. Ilorr continued by salng that up
to the present Mr. Harvey had not said
a single word in proof of the actual sub
ject of dispute. He hnd irgued at length
that the act of 1S73 was conceived in sin
and brought forth in Iniquity, but had not
brought forth any proof and could not;
It did not exist. History showed that a
variation of 1 per cent between the
commercial and legal ratio between gold
and silver nlwas drove the dearer metal
out of the market. Now, with a difference
of 30 per cent, what evidence was there
that consensus of the civilized nations
Hngland ecf pled could bring them to a
paritv ; much less, how could the United
States alone do It?
Mr. Ilorr declared that Mr. Harvey's
object was not so much to build up silver
as to put down gold, as was shown by his
piovlslon for leduclng tho size ot tho
gold dollai.
Dnllarri Not Coined.
Mr. Harvey, referring back to the silver
coinage between 1833 and IsTJ, said that
the silver coined at Philadelphia was
coined into subsidiary money, not dollars,
He added that the piemlum on sliver was
a premium at Ixmdou and that trans
portation charges would more than eat
that up, so the bullion owners In this
countty vvould take it to the mints lor
coinage.
Taking Into consideration bank credits
and checks and the amount ot money In
cli dilation the noinial amount of money
necessary for the tiansaction of tho busi
ness thioughout tho countty, continued
Mr Hnivey, was four thousand eight hun
dred million dollais. of this one-third
only was In money and the rest was bor
rowed. The infeieme was plain: Tho
normal amount of money which we should
havo was four thousand eight hundred
million dollais. As matteis now stand,
he snid, the banks were loaning and get
ting Interest on two dollars loi evei) dol
lar In circulation.
Ulr Ilorr 1'ropher.lei.
Mr. Ilorr said that tho question of wheth
er the banks were a curst to the tommy
would be discussed In Its Pioper plum and
Mr. Harvey would probably be ,1skuhIpi
with himself when It was dono for having
brought the matter up.
Returning to his duseusslon, Mr Ilorr
said that the statistics show that 122 man.
ufacturcil articles havo depieelated In vnl
ue since W, an avenigo. of 7 per cent;
silver had depieelated CO per cent; some
other articles had depreciated as much ow
ing to special conditions.
Taking up the smtenieiit In Mr. Ilarvo)'s
book that It had cost J2 per ounce to pro
duce the silver In tho United Status, .Mr.
Ilorr characterized It us nonsense. He pre
sented statistics ot dniereut mines collated
by M, li. Sciidder. showing that one mine
had produced at U cents per ounce; anoth
er at 21 cents Tim silver mlneiH would
not have continued to mine sliver at a
cost of 12 per ounce when the product
was worth only C'J cents,
Cost nf Mining Gold.
Mr. Harvey. In turn, said that what Mr,
Ilorr had said about the cost of produc.
lug silver, he could have said with much
moro foieo with regard to gold. Silver
was only produced from quartz; most of
tho gold was produced fioni placer mines,
It cost less, dollar for dollar, to product
gold man silver, iiu tl-.u. Hum ,i uook ny
,ki Del Mar, nn opinion that, pound for
pound, It cost more to nioduce silver than
gold, or, dollar for dollar, sixteen to one.
Why did men continue to mlno silver at
u loss? Why did men gamble on the boanl
of trade, wheio if large majority lost? It
was the gambling Instinct implanted in the
human breast.
Another thlntr: Most of the silver pro
duced was produced In conjunction with
gold mining, and a large pioportlon of
the silver pioduced was the result of at.
templb to develop mines which proved fail
ures In the end, nnd the losers wete dis
posing of their output to try to save some
thing out of tho wreck. There were, ho
declared, only three or four silver mines
in operation in the country, and they were
having a precarious exlstence.llable to close
any week.
Mr. Harvey then denounced Mr. Seudder
as the tool ot the bankini; interests, sent
out to the silver country to defame his na
tion. Mr. Ilorr declared that tho statement
that It cost more to produce a pound of
sllv.tr than a pound of sold was not true

Tsntlto of Appeal Olvrn. but t'oiiui,rl for
t'ily s,i) 'that Amounts lo Nothing
.Major .lone savs tlie Ihid
Has Conie.
Ilurllnglon, Vt July 2." (Special.) In a
iliiRlutr decision which pr.ielleully knocks
evpry support from under tho National
Water Woiks Company, Mr. Justice Ilrew
er has suslolhed tne i'Oiinei tor Kansas
City upon eveiy point i.ilsed lu the wuter
works case, and has granted the supple
mental decree which was asked for bv
Kansas City's counsel. Tho water works
company, through Wheeler I'erkham. of
Now York, will apply to Mr. Justice Hrcw
er, at South IVrrlsburg, Vt., either to
luol low evening or Saturday, for on np
peal The appeal m.tj be granted, but In tho
Judgment of Kansas Clt'.s counsel now
here, tho water wotks company will not
comply with the tecpilrements imposed by
Mr. Justice Ilrewer, and If not, superse
deas will be granted, nnd without this the
National Water Works Company wilt bo
powerless to prevent the city from taking
Immediate' possession of the plant. The
mere appeal will bo harmless.
The suiiidemenl.il decree will be for
warded to the clerk ot the United States
cotut In Kansas C'lt) In a few days, prob
ably next Siturday. The bond purchasers
have notllled Kansas Clt's rcpiesenlnllves
here that tho put chase money for the
bonds will be sent to Kansas City Immedi
ately, and will doubtless be theie by the
time the oilgln.il decree an Ives. City
Counselor McDougal, of Kansas City, is
here and will rem iln until the light is en
tirely over.
Mr. Justice Ilrewer consumed nc.ulj the
entile d.iv in dictating and revising his
opinion in the- case. Until this time he
had not iceelved data as to the amount of
the different payments ot the bond pur
chase money, which he has now divided
Into thiee pajments ot $1,371, too, Jl,a";.i;W
and $US,00O. In order to keep within the
constitutional limit, bonds for tho abovo
named amountH are to be delivered In
tin oo dllterent b itches, at Intervals of at
least ono hour. Mr. Justice Ilrewer held
that the bonds to furnish money for back
hjdi.int rental should be the tlrst sold.
Then shall come tho $l,i-J",CCO bitch, and
then the il,37l,k") lot, which will ho pro
tected by the water woiks' mortgages and
bonds, which will he held In escrow by
Miss Utter, cleik ot the United States
court In Kansas Clt).
.Mr. Justice Ilrewei's decision fully cov
ered all of the points in tho conttovotsy.
He began with the. beginning of the liti
gation In liV.il, and followed it unlit It
reached tho court In which It was heaid
Tuesday. ll said that the city's conten
tion that the purchasers of tho water
woiks bonds should be subrogated to the
rights ot tho holders of tho water woiks
company's securities was of no Interest to
tho company. He said that if the water
works company and its bondholdeis weio
paid according to tho decree alieady set
tled, It had no further Interest ot concern
in the water woiks plant. Mr Justice'
Ilrewer asked whether It was any concern
of the company's If the city gavo the plant
away after It had paid tor it. I tut tlie
compiny, ho stated, had pi eased lis light
lo bo heaid on tho points In question, and
contended lhat the court should listen care
fully lo any suggestions that might be
Ofleiod.
The lit ,st suggestion offered by the com
pany. said .Mr. Justice Ilrewer, was that
tho decieo was for spccllle performauco
of contiuct, which It now asks the entorco
ment of, and which It once disclaimed Its
desire to iihld,, b). Hut the decree) did not
leave this to tho capilees of cither
of the contracting parties. Mr Jus
lb o Ilrewer said that he did not
icst matters upon simply the tonus
of the decieo, however. Ho had
found, by looking up tho hlsloiy of tho
litigation, that the city had onco attempted
to build a water woiks pi ml of Its own.
and at this time the company had llled suit
to pic vent such action on tho giound that
the city was bound by a contract with
them. The couit held that tho city was
bound by tho conttnet, and tho derision
was tint tho city should huj and tho com
pany should sell.
Mr. Justleo Ilrewer next took up tho
compaiD's argument!, that tho supplemen
tal dec re o nsked for wns in eftect a change
In tho terms of tho original decree, which
was not In tho power of the court to do.
Mi. Justico Hievver said that this was a
mistake, as the older aski'd lor plaits no
loudens upon the water works company,
nor does It In nn) way concern tho sum or
the m inner of payment.
The argument that tho order was not re
sponsive to the Issues of tho case was not
good doctrine, aeeoidlns to Mr. Justice
Hrtwcr. It was a mere matter of detail
and was not dlffcient from the order for
appointment of a commissioner on tho part
of thu ell).
Tho validity of the bonds was ono point
In particular which Mr. Justice Ilrewer
made cli.tr. He fnld that the constitu
tional provision, which left a doubt as to
the validity of tho bonds was a certain
clause of tho constitution, of 1S73 llmltliig
munlelpal Indebtedness. o said that tho
contract with tho company whereby tho
clt) hud agreed to purchase tho plant or
renew Its contract was made under ex
press legislation. Its terms were pre
scribed by the legislature and It wus not
in the power of the state by a constitu
tional amendment to Impair tho clt)'s
obligation.
As to .Mr. I.athrop's and Mr, IVckham's
pleas to wait until Kansas City was. able
to isue JJ.OOO.W) of bonds Mr, Justice
Ilrewer said that such action vvould cause
tho court to lend Its aid In Impairing tho
clt)'s obligations.
The suggestion that tho present bond
holders bhould have a lien upon the prop
erty was dismissed by Mr, Justice Hrevvcr
by sajlntr that la the original decree a
provision was made for the continuation of
tho lien and was not taken advantage of
by the bondholder. The company's con
tention that the city may default In the
pa)ment of the bonds when they fall due
and the persons holding them may fore
close the plant and In this way secure pos
session, of U.jwhsu. thjcQiq q9; othcr.-

The plea that the valuation of the plnrt,
